This just looks a bit off to me:

Interesting, saw on the news my LBS (Orbea dealer) was recently robbed, 35,000€ of stock taken. We're in San Sebastian but police think everything would have gone straight out the country, unlikely to be sold on locally. Will pass it on.

edit: 2000gbp is about 2800eur which doesn't seem wildly cheap to me, old model frame and mid range parts.

I normally reserve judgement on these posts, but the fact that the bike is clearly not yet fully assembled is enough to raise my eyebrows.

That steerer tube...

What's strange about the bike?

Seller has plenty of history
It is clearly described as unridden / uncut steerer...

Seller has sold a few other cycling related items over the past few months, poor description for a potential £2k sale though.

Did the shop also sell Ridley bikes?

He'd be a bit of a rubbish thief.
All those bikes to go at and he takes time to swipe an Orbea pen.
